Notes What else is like a Rolex these days? Something made to last generations, something meant to be repaired not replaced, something created in a design language that's meant to supersede trends. I honestly can't think of much. Some coach built super cars? The top tier of musical instruments? The wood and leather lounge chairs coming out of Herman Miller? It's crazy to me that it's difficult to think of things we look at and use every day in our daily lives that won't end up in landfills sooner than later.
